If the first task is a batch or similar, at the end of the job give the command to start taskB<br />
<br />
for a batch it would be:<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-41683791-1">rem task a
echo do tasks for a
echo job done, start task b
SCHTASKS /Run &quot;task b (or whatever the task name is)&quot;</code></pre>
</div>

Agree with Kimputer as an option to trigger the next task.<br />
<br />
Depending on what is being run<br />
You could define the schedule such that it runs task A &amp;&amp;&nbsp;Task B<br />
Only on successful exit of task A will task b run under the scheduler.

I have a Windows Server 2012 in which I have two tasks setup A and B. Currently A is scheduled to run at 3:30 a.m while B is schedule to run at 4:00 a.m. I would like to daisy chain these tasks so that once Task A finishes completion it starts Task B automatically. Any ideas on how this can be done ?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Daisy Chaining Scheduled Tasks in Task Scheduler

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.

Windows Server 2012

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
